We live in a world that is walking in the shadow of everything that has come before us, if you look at it, Everything has been done before.

Its just all the stuff that has been done before that looks original and funny, that is funny.



I know, i dont know where my mouth stopped talking there and my ass started :pac:

ShawnRaven

Nah, i knew what you meant. Same sh*t produced differently will be funny, until you see it reproduced in a different state later on.

That's why I love Ross Noble. The guy just makes up so much as he goes along it's original and different each time, and for me at least, cripplingly hilarious.

It would help if you didn't have his website linked in a quote when the next poster is responding!
But yeah, it's Garth from Waynes World. Once drummed live with U2 at the 1992 (i think, it also may have been 1993) MTV Music Video awards.

Ah yes, Britain during the Thatcher administration made for interesting news reports during the proper recession in the 80s. Because no matter how bad we had it back then, they had it way worse.

(and of course, most of the country was openly delighted about it, despite a big percentage of us headed over to london to sign on the dole over there because it was more than it was here at the time)

pingu_girl

Yup some guy told it to me I was so unimpressed I had to share it.

There was worse though but for the love of god I cant remember them one of em was something about swings and shelton benjamin hahaha ah lads get into bed!

Goodnight:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

I only think it's brilliant because I already know how it ends up. :P It really is mad how bad things got, but that's the price ya can pay for "principles".

I love how nowadays the only reason people in this country say the miners were right is because they want to disagree with anything about Thatcher.

It was also immortalised in the Adrian Mole novels and TV series. "Three Million Jobless"

Say what you want about Thatcher, she was ruthless, cutthroat, aggressive, but the fact of the matter was, she kept the country from going under. People were almost crying for her to come back less than one year when John Major took over.

Exactly. In relation to Ireland she was a ****, but without her Britain would be in a lot, lot worse shape today, and by default we most likely would be ****ed.

I can't believe the things in this documentary, the Tory government were clever, clever bastards, stockpiling enough coal to last 2 years before they announced the cuts, just let Scargill make a complete twat of himself and the guys on strike. Funny too seein the leader of a local union in a coke plant, had he gone along with the strike things would've been fairly different.

Heh, calling the workers "scabs" for working through the strike when no ballot had been held. Ah, if only the students had been let in charge. :pac:

The first two were, they sold in their droves and were reprinted time out of number. But that didn't stop Townsend trying to milk that cash cow, by releasing a ton of books that were just dull and uninteresting.

What hooked people into reading those, were either young adults, who could either relate to teenage years, or have an idea where theirs was going, or the 20-40 year old demographics who have been there and done that (and in some cases with the ongoing issues raised, lived through it (parental split, women trouble, British Government).

But the likes of the true confessions, and cappuccino years were everything that most people pick up a book do not want to read, and that is a day to day account of how crap real life is.

Dunno about being f*cked, but the recession would have finished a lot later and the Celtic Tiger boom would have only kicked off around 03-04.

Don't even joke about that. You'll give the Irish ideas.
Because a wannabe Ross O'Carroll-Kelly from Trinity is exactly who we need running this country, right?

Read the first 3 when I was 12-13 loved them, never got the cappuccino years always ment too though.

I'm on borrowed study time, which is rapidly ticking. I went to bed two hours ago after stopping studying, but my brain is in overdrive.

Problem is, i've hit a block when it comes to writing, and now i'm wide awake.
It sucks, cos i've got one more day of study before my final exam on Monday. But it looks like i could be sleeping for a lot of it.

Some kind of communist-anarchism blend is the way towards a fairer society, everyone under 25 knows that. :pac:

Give a student a copy of Socialist Worker and next thing you know, they think they're next in line for Brian Cowens job.

Disturbing thought really.
